CMC produces some of the highest quality die cast models available. They use only authentic materials and painstaking research to bring us models that are extremely well detailed and accurate. This is the 1966 275 GTB/C as driven at LeMans by Biscaldi and de Bourbon. Guaranteed to enhance your 1:18 collection, and sure to please even the most demanding collectors. The 275 GTB was a two-seat gran turismo automobile with a displacemet of 275 cc per cylin-der. Four 275 GTB Competizione Speciales were built in1965, each fitted with a 250LM engine. Its entire body was made of thin aluminium, and the chassis was built of magnisium and steel perorated with holes all over. At one point in time, the light weight of the Speciales posed a problem, and the FIA refused to homologate the model as a GT contender. This underweight issue was dismissed only after Enzo threatened to abandon the motor sport altogether, and a compromised was subsequetly reached. Numbered edition of just 1,000 pieces.
